Drumlynn made a winning start under Rules at Worcester and has scope for further improvement. The four-year-old Spice Girl has won at Stratford and Worcester this summer and deserves respect with a 7lb claimer on board but the pair have to give weight to THE BLACK SQUIRREL (NAP), who shaped with definite promise on his first start for Warren Greatrex at Stratford and has Richard Johnson doing the steering today.
